Photograph the book. The catalogue writes itself.

For every kind of library in India — a school, a college, a public library, a room at home.

Why it is worth paying for

The scanning is the whole point.

Every library programme can store a book once it is typed in. Typing it in is the part nobody wants to do. Grandhika reads the cover — title, author, publisher, edition — and writes the card for you, in Malayalam and English.

What you get

Cataloguing

Scan a cover, get a record

Point the phone at the book. Title, author, publisher and edition come back filled in, transliterated between Malayalam and English, ready to correct if you want to.

Circulation

Lending that keeps count

Issue and return books, see what is overdue, record fines. Members can search the collection and check what they are holding from their phone.

Records

The registers you already keep

Accession register, stock register, lending register — printed as PDF the way an inspector expects to see them, and exported as CSV whenever you ask.

Every kind of library

It speaks your library's language

A school has students and teachers. A public library has members. A home library has a shelf and nothing else. Grandhika changes what it calls things to match the library you actually run.

            Get started

            Tell us about your library.

            We set the library up for you and send the login details. There is nothing to install and nothing to pay until you have seen it working.

            We use this only to set up your library and reply to you. We do not pass it to anyone else.

            Would rather just talk? Message us on WhatsApp or write to admin@grandhika.in.
